GLÜCK SIEBEN GEHEIMNISSE - Ein kurzer Leitfaden zum Erfolg
by Henry Osal Karl ApselSieben einfache Schritte, die Sie näher an Ihre Traumziele bringen. Ein wundervoller Leitfaden für ein glückliches Leben. Wenn ich Menschen kennenlerne, die glücklich sind, Menschen, denen das Schicksal manchmal oder auch öfters hold ist, sind sie sich normalerweise in Einem einig: Glück oder glückliche Zufälle ergeben sich nicht willkürlich. Glück erfordert Beharrlichkeit, Enthusiasmus und harte Arbeit, damit es sich einstellt, d.h. wir müssen uns darum bemühen, es in unser Leben zu bringen. Wir können GLÜCK als eine glückliche Fügung sehen, die uns nur einmal im Leben zukommt. Wir verbringen dann unser ganzes Leben damit, auf diesen einen Moment zu warten. Das ist aber in den meisten Fällen unergiebig. Wir neigen dazu zu denken, dass wir unter einem UNGLÜCKSSTERN geboren sind, wenn wir wie betäubt Meldungen über Menschen, die Glück haben, lesen; Menschen, die im Lotto gewonnen haben, auf einen Schatz gestoßen sind oder ein begabtes Kind haben, das sie zu Millionären macht. Das sind aber Ausnahmefälle. Wir danken aber nicht unserem GLÜCKSSTERN, wenn wir tragische Meldungen lesen oder hören. Es scheint einfach, als könne uns so etwas nicht zustoßen. Und die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sich zufällig etwas wirklich Gutes in unserem Leben ereignet, ist genauso hoch, wie die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass uns etwas wirklich Schlimmes zustößt: SEHR GERING. Wir beginnen also damit, über Glück als etwas zu denken, das wir steuern können, als einen Weg, den wir wählen, um zu einem Ziel zu gelangen. Das macht es erforderlich, dass wir uns an eine Reihe von Regeln halten, die ich GEHEIMNISSE genannt habe, obwohl es sich bei ihnen in Wirklichkeit einfach nur um gesunden Menschenverstand handelt. Lassen Sie uns diesen Weg gemeinsam beschreiten.
The Glutathione Revolution: Fight Disease, Slow Aging, and Increase Energy with the Master Antioxidant
by Nayan PatelWard off life-threatening disease and symptoms of aging with this guide to boosting your levels of glutathione (GSH), the "master antioxidant."The body has a remarkable ability to ward off disease and heal itself--and it does it with the help of the most important antioxidant you've never heard of: glutathione (GSH), the "master antioxidant." This indispensable molecule--which we make ourselves--holds the key to immunity, vitality, and lifelong health, helping to flush out toxins, fight DNA-damaging free radicals, and rebuild other essential antioxidants like Vitamins C and E. It's been linked to longevity in centenarians, and it protects against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. It plays a role in lesser ailments too: low glutathione levels could be the culprit behind your fatigue, aches, and pains. At the forefront of the latest GSH research, Dr. Nayan Patel shares all the information you need to boost your glutathione levels, revitalize your body, and transform your life with this naturally-occurring super antioxidant. In The Glutathione Revolution, he addresses the most important questions about GSH: What exactly is glutathione? What happens when your GSH levels are low? What diseases does GSH ward off? How can you naturally increase the amount of GSH your cells produce? What foods should you eat--and not eat? What are the safest and most effective GSH supplements? With a wealth of practical information and three easy, accessible action plans that you can tailor to your own life and health concerns, you too can harness the power of glutathione.

Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad
by Steven KotlerThe New York Times bestselling author and human performance expert tests his knowledge and theories on his own aging body in a quest to become an expert skier at age fifty-three.Gnar: adjective, short for “gnarly,” def: any environment or situation that is high in perceived risk and high in actual risk.Country: noun, def: any defined territory, landscape or terrain, fictitious or real.Cutting-edge discoveries in embodied cognition, flow science, and network neuroscience have revolutionized how we think about peak performance aging. On paper, these discoveries should allow older athletes to progress in supposedly “impossible” activities like park skiing (think: jumps and tricks.) To see if theory worked in practice, Kotler conducted his own ass-on-the-line experiment in applied neuroscience and later-in-life skill acquisition: He tried to teach an old dog some new tricks.Recently, top pros have been performing well past a previously considered prime: World-class athletes such as Kelly Slater, the greatest surfer of all time, is winning competitions in his fifties; Tom Brady can beat players half his age. But what about the rest of us?Steven Kotler has been studying human performance for thirty years, and taught hundreds of thousands of people at all skill levels, age groups, and walks of life, how to achieve peak performance. Could his own advice work for him?Gnar Country is the chronicle of his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. It’s a book about goals and grit and progression. It’s an antidote for weariness that is inspiring, practical, and, often hilarious. It is about growing old and staying rad. It’s a feverish reading experience that makes you put down the book, get out there, and move. Whether hurtling down a mountain side, running your first 10K race, or taking your career to new heights, Kotler challenges us to test ourselves, surpass our limits, and achieve our own impossible, whatever it might be. Part personal journey, part science experiment, part how-to guide, Kotler takes us on his punk rock, high-velocity joy-ride for a better life in spite—and often in defiance of—the perceived limitations of the aging human body.
The Gnome Project: One Woman's Wild and Woolly Adventure
by Jessica Peill-MeininghausWhat do you do when life is too chaotic? How about felting a gnome? Or 365 of them, one for each day of the year. Artist and wool crafter Jessica Peill-Meininghaus decided that she needed a project to teach herself follow-through in life. She settled on making one of her popular felted-wool gnomes every day for a year. With pipe cleaners and wool roving, amidst the chaos of raising four children and moving cross-country, Peill-Meininghaus felted her way through hundreds of charming, pointy-hatted, often bearded characters. Lavishly decorated with photos of each charming creation, The Gnome Project is the surprising and magical story of what happens when we commit to something small. (Hint: It's something very big, as in making life more meaningful.) Here is her inspirational tale, complete with gnome-making instructions.
